Finding the right accountant can be tough with so much fraudulent
activity that is going on online these days. It is hard to find a
trustworthy accountant, especially while looking online. If you are
searching on Google, it can be even harder with the 1,000's of search
results that come up when you perform a search for accounting services.
Just because someone is in the number one spot does not necessarily mean
they will be the perfect accountant for you. There are multiple factors
that go into finding an accountant depending on your individual or
business needs. Here are a couple ways that you can filter out the
results by just doing a little bit of research.
Pricing
The
pricing structure of a company might be different from the pricing of
someone who works out of their home office. Most companies will have
accounting services for individuals or businesses. A lot, of home bases
accountants usually focus on individuals but can handle small businesses
as well. You will save more money if you can find a trustworthy
accountant that is working from their home office. The only downfall of
hiring someone that works from home is that they have no supervisor.
They are in charge of your account and no one else will be able to check
if they are working ethically. The great thing about hiring a company
is that you can have the security that they are going to do a great job
and there work will be checked over by a supervisor.
Experience
Hiring
an inexperienced accountant can be a real nightmare when tax season
comes around. If your books are off, it might be tougher to prepare your
taxes and could end up in the whole or losing money. Make sure the
person or company you choose to hire has at least 10 years of
experience. 10 years in business, shows a lot about a company or
business owner and that they are in it for the long run.
References
Does
this company or individual have references? If so, check them. You want
to make sure that the person or company you are dealing with is
reputable and that they aren't just trying to get your money. If they
have more than one reference, I would suggest checking them all. It's
too easy these days to get a friend of yours to answer the phone for you
and act like a potential client. Maybe, do a couple reputation searches
online or check the BBB website as well.
Don't just hire any
accountant, make sure you do your research and find the best one for
your business size and one that has a healthy reputation in the
industry. Price should be last on your list if you are looking for a
trustworthy person to handle your money.
